- The Lock Box
- by Phoenix of IKX
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Description:
- This box can be used on any of those anoying people you just can't stand.
- Just think about it...
-
- Salesperson: "Hi, Mr. Jones. I just need a moment of you time."
-
- This is where the Lock Box comes into play. Just flip the switch
- and hang-up the phone. Leave it on for as long as you like, because this
- salesperson won't be bothering anyone else on this line until you turn it
- off. One drawback, however, is that your line will also be busy until
- it's turned off.
-
- * Note: This is my first box plans with schematics, so bear with me.
- BTW, this has been tested with success on local calls.
